Nick Kirby and Carter McKee led the way with a goal and two assists.
The Panthers hold a 2-1 lead in the series. Game 4 is in Port Hope Wednesday night.
Home (not so) Sweet home
Home ice hasn’t been any advantage yet in the OJHL’s South-East Conference final.

That leads us to Game 3 in the best of seven series tonight (Monday) at Lehigh Arena in the County.
Game time is 7:30.
